I noticed Dawit's "BigLaw" in the "MoneyConcerns" page turned into a blue word with a question mark, meaning it hasn't been discussed before on the Twiki. Maybe this is something to discuss, even outside of the money concerns discussion. I wanted to try out this function, but this is what we all talk about day to day here at CLS, so maybe a conversation in the context of this class would be useful. Personally, I feel that it's strange that BigLaw is such a given for all of us. It's so definite that we talk so much about it. Yet so many of us have internal conflict with it. It's pretty amazing that this is nearly guaranteed for us, but I wonder how this sits with everyone else?

 I also heard a lot about CLS's big law reputation but it wasn't till we all started searching for jobs that I realized how deeply ingrained it is! Before I knew it, I'd applied to several law firms not even really knowing what it is that they do and also not even sure that it was something I wanted to pursue. But then when I saw how much money they were offering I felt like I needed to find out more. It's so interesting how the place you are in can really shape your decisions and open paths you never even imagined you would take.

I think it's interesting that Biglaw comprises of many firms yet from my experienced they're all usually talked about as one. I've heard culture can differ from firm to firm, but are there any other differences you've heard of? Does all associates do pretty the exact same work regardless of which Biglaw firm they go to?
